How the government is fudging inflation numbers
Wall Street Unplugged - What's Really Moving These Markets - A podcast by Curzio Research - Mercoledì

Markets are down sharply as today’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) data came in hotter than expected—leaving investors worried the Fed will continue its aggressive interest rate hikes. Prepare for a rant on the government’s “creative” inflation calculations… and why the Fed should ignore the CPI figure altogether—but won’t. I explain how world governments are contributing to 40-year-high inflation… what the Fed should do to finally tame it… and why markets could drop 20% from here if the Fed doesn’t get its act together. On the plus side, I expect the Fed’s actions to lead to some great deals on Black Friday.
